Amen.. The TEA is one of the worst Teacher's Unions in the country.. last time I checked, they received almost 10% of the education budget with another 25% going to districts 'administrative' costs.. They are now pushing this 'Teachers First' program which is an actual joke in regards to helping teachers.. it is all about keeping them under the thumb of the TEA.

I for one am sick and tired of hearing about the underpaid teachers. No one snuck up and changed the pay scale when they started teaching. They knew the pay when they signed on. If they had wanted more pay they could have taken chemistry, biology, or calculus in college instead of those mind numbing time wasting education courses.
My wife suffered through those courses so she could teach because she loved to teach. She knew her pay wouldn't buy us a new Lexus every year. She just loved teaching and young people.
And paying paper pushing administrators, counselors and assorted flunkies those inflated salaries is just plain stupid. I'm never voting for a school bond issue again.
